Your sky is blown try using the burn tool set to highlights, and there is a lot of empty space in the bottom left hand corner as well.

Flat light and an "English" summer sky! The twin banes of a landscape photographer's existence, Ian.

I quite like the diagonal construction and lead-in lines.

I'd try a square crop, I think, removing more on the left than the right and losing a bit of sky. Then I'd try a mono conversion. Certainly a place worth persevering with. That river has possibilities.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I agree with Andrew the diagonals work well but IMO you'll always struggle to make this sort of view really compelling.
